16 Tweets That Sum Up The Intolerable Pain Of LEGO

When everyone talks about your post-baby body, no one ever mentions that your feet will never be the same again.

As much as we love our children playing with something other than the iPad, having LEGO in the house is just a ticking time bomb.

Slippers at the ready people.

8. Trying to keep your cool and only swear quietly.

New parents should have to learn how to walk on #Legos without screaming profanities. If Fire Walkers can do it so can Lego Walkers. #newdad

9. Having to accept your home is no longer a safe space.

If The Lego Movie is about anything other than parents walking around and cursing after stepping on Legos. it's not based on a true story.

10. And that the world is conspiring against you.

Parenting can feel like repeatedly stepping on a Lego in more ways than one. Keep at it - it's worth it! #Parents #Parenting

15. And LEGO has officially taken over your life.
